The name of this band is R.E.M: a biography

The things they wouldn't do

Thte music of dissent

Super fucking famous

Birdland

Bad habits

An oasis for artists and misfits

Dance this mess around

Let's make a band

Don't rock 'n' roll, no!

A party in the church

"We're still laughing. It's a real shock"

Picture James Brown fronting the Dave Clark Five

We weren't really close in a lot of ways

Hey, he really knows his shit!

A certain amount of chaos

Sit and try for the big kill

Lots of impressive first-time songs

Wolves out the door

Chronic town, poster torn

Murmuring

R.E.M. submits

A collective first

This one goes out

Here we are

My soul doth magnify the lord

Shadowfax

So you want to be a rock 'n' roll star

Gravity pulling me around

A magic kingdom, open-armed

What if we give it away?

Life's rich demand

Things we never thought would happen have happened

Conquest

The monster

Hi, hi, hi, hi

Are you ready to rock 'n' roll?

The fever

A breath, this song

Near wild heaven

Shiny happy

The most improbably successful group in music today

These are days

Does everyone still want to do this?

Enter the monster

Did someone put a curse on us?

The name of this band is R.E.M. and this is what we do

How the west was won

And where it got us

I'm outta here

Airportmen

The name of this band is R.E.M.

The murmurers

This is going to be loud

It was what it was

Let's all get on with it.
